    second and Moscow t hi r d, on a par wi t h Hong Kong. Many European ci ti es
    have gone down the ranki ngs because thei r exchange rates have become
    ' (weak) agai nst the USdol l ar. Moscow's exchange rate has
    also become ^(weak), but Russia has a much
    * (hi gh) i nf l ati on rate than many European countri es. So pri ces
    in Moscow are among ^(hi gh) in Europe. But there is one
    advantage of l i vi ng in Moscow. The underground is excel l ent - very cheap and
    much (comf ortabl e) than the one in London.
    New York is ' (expensive) UScity. This is because the US
    dol l ar is ^(strong) than many other currenci es. Some
    European countri es that used to be far ^(expensive) than New
    York are now much '(cheap).
    London is the l o t h " (expensive) ci ty in the wor l d, accordi ng
    to the survey. A year ago, London was 5 %- i o % (cheap) than
    many French and Germn ci ti es. This is no l onger so. Now London is 15%
    '3 (dear) than the Germn and French ci ti es menti oned in the
    survey. However, London is a good ci ty to live i n. Business peopl e said that
    London was (exci ti ng) of al l the maj or ci ti es in the wor l d.
    Londoners also cl ai m that i t is (den) than i t used to be, and
    (safe) than many other European ci ti es.

    agree that Moscow is ^expensi ve as Hong Kong. l've al ways
    f ound Moscow ^expensi ve. The price of certai n i tems may be
    about the as in Hong Kong, but I know the hotel s are

    good to the London Underground and is def i ni tety
    7 more comf ortabl e. I al ways wal k in London *
    than use the Underground. Al so, some other Northern European ci ti es are
